Bill:

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, Keye Luke is not the name I’m looking for. I understand that Mr. Luke did, indeed, paint the murals in the lobby, but not the one along the far left-side interior wall.

Again, thanks for the help.

Last month I took a quick 10-minute tour of the Chinese Theater. From the lobby, we entered the auditorium around the right side of the concession stand. We exited the auditorium via an aisle on the far left side. While heading back up towards the lobby, the guide stopped us and pointed out a mural that was painted on the wall (in the aisle, near the entrance to the left side of the lobby). He told us the painter’s name, and I remember saying to myself, “WOW! Wasn’t he a famous musician, or bandleader?” Of course, now I can’t remember the painter’s name.

It is an unusual, but highly recognizable name. I’ve been searching all over the web looking for a clue. Any help would be most appreciated. :)

Thanks, Spoondoggie.
